It's not easy to get your first deal done, but as everything in life, it only gets easier as time goes on. 

Let her out of her lease and deal with the inevitable vacancy now instead of later. 

I suggest building relationships for private money, this is how we fund out mobile home with land deals which we buy.  

Now, why is this a big deal when FHA already offers a 3.5% down product?

The alternative is to just pay your mom's rent and let another owner deal with your siblings. 

Personally and this is just my opinion, but I am not a fan of 100% financing as gives you no liquidity and not many options if you needed to exit the deal for some reason. 

NOT a big deal, Scrap and paint the windows or better yet just replace them.

I found this deal on the community listings!

I advise you to definitely be careful when dealing with John Jackson .

If you have a lot of doors, any claims you're paying out (again, with your time spent dealing with issues) are generally offset by the premiums you're collecting from doors that don't require any or much attention.The fee structure should be transparent and easy to understand, and it certainly should be on the PMCs radar to avoid "project management" when possible.
